allsportdvd.com Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hi all Hoping someone can help me to see if my problem is a quick fix? My Rockola 450 will play the B side single fine but upon choosing an A side the mechanism just keeps searching. there are 2 spinning arms on the disc (not sure of its name) the outside one spins and the inside does not. I’ll upload an attachment and also have a video if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ddstoys Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 It’s been a while since I worked on a rockola but the levers marked are a and b side check the wires going to the solenoid that kicks the A side levers, Or manually trip an an inner and outer lever and see if it plays the A and B side or still only b side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ddstoys Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Sorry not a very good explanation the inner ring is A or B and the outer it the opposite, Flick one of each and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 allsportdvd.com Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Okay that helped thanks @ddstoys I flicked a switch on both sides and only the B side played. The arm that has the 2 solenoids on the inside doesn’t rotate around to knock the pin back, only the outside one rotates if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ddstoys Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Did it play both selections but only the b side played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gemini2544 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Did you check the fuse in that inline fuse holder, doesn't look original to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 allsportdvd.com Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Did it play both selections but only the b side played? No. It just kept on searching for the A side. B side played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 allsportdvd.com Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Did you check the fuse in that inline fuse holder, doesn't look original to me. Which fuse are you referring to? I can only see fuses on the board at the back of the machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 steve2000 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 The fuse is under the arrow that ddstoys put on his reply. It has the pinkish looking wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 allsportdvd.com Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 When I push that in the machine stop searching but it doesn’t stay in so as soon as let go the machine goes back to searching for a record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hotty Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Okay that helped thanks @ddstoys I flicked a switch on both sides and only the B side played. The arm that has the 2 solenoids on the inside doesn’t rotate around to knock the pin back, only the outside one rotates if that makes sense Its been a very long time since i worked on one also, use to have a rockola 454 but that arm and counter weight with the 2 solenoids A& B is supposed to spin and stop when it hits the selection pin thats pushed out so it can select the record, sometimes if one side doesn’t select check contacts and solder connections on the slip ring mechanism and what it supplies. Have look in the bottom of the cab for anything that may have dislodged, highly unlikely but it doesn’t hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
